I'm 52, female, and have been financially responsible since my teenage years and have absolutely no regrets about it yet admit I'm anything but a genius in regard to my money. However, I do have the common sense enough to know you gotta save your bucks. I feel very sorry for a guy of any age who's stuck with a dippy childish woman who wants a daddy to take care of her all her life. And if a guy is dumb enough to get involved with a woman like this, God help him. I blame our weird sorry popular culture/media for promoting foolishness in our women from childhood. And studies show that the major problem is and has always been young women getting knocked up without the benefit of marriage; even liberal politicians can agree with that assessment. It has torn societies to pieces. Both sexes ought to learn to be self-suffient from early on. I have no sympathy for the stay-at-home whiners on the talk shows who cry because "daddy" won't help them in their fabulous homes with the housework and the kiddies, boo-hoo. Shame on these women and shame on their parents who brought them up this way. Go, Meredith, good article.

I always tell my wife that she needs to have her own money because she will feel much better and secure this way. What if something bad would happen to me one day? The responsibility to take care of our family would be up to her.. But I think she's doing a great job until now!

However, it is common knowledge that the savings and investment rates for most Americans (male and female) are dismal. So it seems a little silly to focus all the blame on some outdated housewife stereotype. It certainly would be simple if all our country's financial woes could be solved by reigning in the soccer moms, but I think the reality might be a tad more complex.
